Today the Apple company updated the information regarding the employees it has in various areas around the globe, those from Cupertino saying how much its employee base has diversified in the last year, they provide information regarding the various nationalities and types of people who work in all its divisions.
To begin with, the number of women employed within Apple increased by one percent compared to last year, now reaching 32%, the remaining 68% being represented by men, so Apple is a company where the majority of employees are men, and this is the situation for almost all US IT companies.
Regarding the race and ethnicity of employees, the Apple company claims that 19% of its employees are Asian, 9% "black", 12% Hispanic, 2% multiracial, 1% in other categories, but 56% of Apple employees are "white ", the latter percentage increasing by 2% compared to the same period last year.
The interesting part is that Apple managed to equalize the salaries between men and women within the company starting from August 2016, so people who work in the same positions and have similar performances, receive similar amounts of money, regardless of sexual orientation, race, And so on
"Diversity is more than any one gender, race, or ethnicity. It's richly representative of all people, all backgrounds, and all perspectives. It is the entire human experience. We want Apple to be a reflection of the world around us. We strive to better represent the communities we're part of. We believe this will help to break down historical barriers in tech."
Tim Cook is trying to turn Apple into a company where everyone is treated equally no matter what they look like, where they come from, who they believe in, or who they love, and this is worthy of all the praise, because not very few companies they have similar programs and equally remarkable results.
